Shoals Technologies Group, LLC v. ITC

Shoals Technologies Group, LLC v. ITC The Federal Circuit granted Shoals's motion to voluntarily withdraw its appeal from the ITC's Investigation No. 337-TA-1365 and dismissed the appeal, over the intervenors' opposition. Costs were awarded to the intervenors, Voltage. A voluntary dismissal ends the appeal without any ruling on the merits, and the court still taxed costs against the withdrawing appellant despite the ITC's non-opposition.
